In November of 2020, Amsterdam-based label Ambientologist released a compilation titled Sustain Series, Vol. 1. It’s an impressive gathering of ambient artists and their music, showcasing some of the most delicate sides of the genre. The proceeds from the release have been donated to Conservation International, promoting sustainability across the world. I reached out to the label in hopes to broadcast this selection to a wider audience on my platform, and I am happy that they obliged to share this 90-minute continuous mix by Lauge with followers of my podcast. Take a look at the tracklisting and you will know why I’m excited to spend today in the company of my favourite ambient artists, as well as a few newly introduced names to my ears. As of this writing, the label is preparing a follow-up volume, with artists such as Halftribe, The Green Kingdom, Pepo Galán, awakened souls, Dylan Henner and Sven Laux, confirmed for the roster. I’m keeping my eye on the Ambientologist’s Bandcamp for the available pre-order, and so should you!

Ambient.Mixlr.8&14.July.2021

Mysteries’ latest from Melbourne-based producer Mosam Howieson falls somewhere between realms — percussive, deep techno and airy ambient — eventually landing in a liminal, stunning, undefinable space. From the wispy, tentacled opener “Explorations” to the IDM-leaning stunner “Cerebro,” Howison’s Aphelion is an intentional experiment in world building, and the world he’s built is a landscape brimming with a potent confluence of retro-futurist sounds, genres, and textures.

Aphelion refers to the point at which a planet is furthest from the sun. Despite the inherent darkness in this concept and its release coming in the wake of a turbulent year, Howieson assures us that he’s far from cynical: in fact, he says the album is “about coming back to the light.” Whether it's the acidic arpeggiation, airy pads, or intricately woven percussion that gets us there, Aphelion is emotionally transportive. In certain tracks, 80’s-influenced synth melody provides the teeth — the LP is not overly percussive, nor is it strictly ambient. Tracks like the IDM-tinged “Cerebro” showcase Howieson’s take on ethereal, breakbeat-influenced techno: airtight percussion and well-placed acid make this a standout. Howieson’s more rhythmic cuts are balanced by beat-less ones; “Low Orbit,” for example, is a dense cloud of a track, sweeping like ominous fog over a valley. But it isn’t long before we’re back above the clouds again with “Dream Sequence” and the title track, whose taut synth melodies and minimal, reverb-soaked percussion give power and depth to the overarching vision of the LP. In listening, there’s a sense of the ground moving beneath one’s feet — and despite Howieson’s skilled, masterful production, the listening experience of Aphelion is undoubtedly about surrender, not control. The soundscape it produces is both fresh and classic, or in another word, elegant.

To my parents and friends who support me in countless ways, and to Rich for being my overseeing musical mentor.

Paduan w/ Mostra Festival Mix

The month of Saturnalia is upon us. So here is an aural accompaniment for decorating the tree, sipping Glühwein and being festive.
I'm angling towards choral and early music with this one.  So there is a certain focus on Medieval and Renaissance aesthetic. Both, the original surviving sacred and secular works reinterpreted by modern ensembles as well as pieces by the contemporary composers and recording artists inspired by early music form and techniques. Some folk and jazz deviations are also included to keep things fun.

The show is bookended by the recitation of the extract from Virgil's Eclogue 4 having to do with Saturnalia and his prediction of 'forthcoming birth and a new golden age'. The text is in Latin and was considered prophetic among people in the early Middle Ages as foretelling of the birth of Christ. I'm not at all religious, but such facts and conjectures are very fascinating.

Soundgarden 'Chill Out' Special

♫ AHOI und WILLKOMMEN!

Mit dieser Ausgabe wird ein kleines Jubiläum gefeiert, der Seasidetrip Podcast bringt seine 50ste Episode raus. Nach langem hin und her, wer denn dieses kleine Fest musikalisch umsetzen soll, entschied sich der Käpt’n es selbst zu tun. 
Am Anfang dieser Seefahrt ahnte http://www.soundcloud.com/rolandson selber nicht, wohin ihn die Winde treiben. Alles begann mit dem Wunsch, durch ein Mixset, die ausgewählten Tracks und wie sie sich aufeinander folgen, Gefühle und Gedanken zum Meer, eben einem Seasidetrip, zum Ausdruck zu bringen. Darum geht es auch 49 Folgen später immer noch - Freunde heuerten an, andere wurden durch ihren Beitrag zu Freunden und so wuchs die Crew an und ist bis heute eine musikalisch bunte, internationale Truppe, welche der Käpt’n nicht mehr hergeben mag. »Ich DANKE jeder und jedem von euch, das ihr mit mir, mit uns gesegelt seid! 

Mein »the beginning ist fatefully« - Mix ist eine sehr persönliche und emotionale Reise und ich lade EUCH ALLE ein, wieder einmal Teil meiner Gedanken- und Gefühlswelt zu werden und zu sein. Genießt die 2 Stunden und lasst mich an euren Gedanken dazu teilhaben. Wirklich, ich hätte nie gedacht, jemals soweit zu kommen, nochmal VIELEN DANK!«

euer sich freuender und gerührter Käpt’n Rolandson

★ special THANKs to Sonja from "heartearth" for let me using her unreleased track - hug you sista!

Coppice Halifax ~ Deepwoods Mixture + BWV-UE0001 [1.6]

Deepwoods Mixture is a Coppice Halifax "DJ set" performed live in studio at the White Pillar Workshop in February 2020 using a minimal configuration of hardware (Akai S2800, Boss RC20, Moog MF-101, Korg MS-20, Grass S10CTCMA, Pioneer SR202W) and software/automation (FL Studio 20) routed through the veins of an Optimus SSM-1750 mixing board. It adapts and reconstitutes specific sections of six previously issued longform CH recordings into a new and seamless listening experience, set over subtle field recordings conducted in the overgrown ravine behind the Workshop. Intended for both low-level, intimate bedroom playback as well as hi-fi presence on loudspeaker/club systems, Deepwoods Mixture has been fashioned as an invitation to the Analog Botany of Coppice Halifax for newcomers and seasoned visitors alike.

Following the Deepwoods Mixture is a new hour-long recording, premiering on Deep Breakfast, for/from a series of works titled 'Halifaxian Cantos'. As the title might imply, these pieces represent the wordless prose of the Halifaxian continent, intimate and minimalistic devotionals sung to the seasons, the sea and the stars beyond them. Coppice Halifax has long maintained an ethos of acting as Aquarius the water-bearer, bringing forth decorative vessels of elemental splendor for both sustenance and reflection, and these cantos have taken shape via this same approach, using a near-generative process that deifies and transmutes orchestral provenance into the almost infinite. A microcosmic study in ambient techno, drone music and process-driven synthesis, Halifaxian Cantos further explore and christen the unmapped lands of the Halifaxian landscape, offering a recorded output that is both tranquil and evocative in their wake. Longtime CH listeners will appreciate noticeable references to Verdant Acre, Reflector, Ferrolog, Dripping Earth and the now-numerous Arborist's Excavations in these works.
